I’ve been watching as some friends try to pick a name for
their impending baby. Very entertaining. I’ve also noticed that what you might
call “historical names” are in fashion now (or something completely original). This gave me an idea, and I thought I would help out any members of my family
who might be looking for historical names for their impending baby (whether
about to be born or just a thought on the horizon). Because how cool would it
be to choose a historical name AND say “Oh, it’s a family name,” when asked
where it came from?
So I had my family history software run a report on all the
first & middle names used on the maternal side of my family, and have
divided them up into Female and Male lists. Some of them would also seem to fit the category of “very original--or “weird”-- as well. J [I tried to do columns to make it easier to read, or at least more aesthetic, but the blog hosting site won't take it that way. Sorry.] Here you go (if there is a plus
sign it’s a name that repeats through several generations):
